Trowbridge Resigns.
During the campaign the editor oi
this paper was cussed and damned IE
great shape for saying that Trow
bridge intended to resign his position
as commissioner from the west dis
trict and was afraid to allow his con
stituents to name his successor , bu1
nevertheless his resignation was senl
in a week or two ago The fact was
kept very quiet , but vesterday the
county clerk , treasurer and judge niel
and appointed his successor. The
first two are republicans , and did nol
notify the judge of their intentior
until a few minutes before time tc
meet. Well , they met. and two pe
titions were presented , one asking
that L.Lauferof Irwin , be appointed
and one asking for R. Hanchette , o :
Lavaca. The majority hummed anc
hawed , so the mmqrity , Judge Towne
moved that Laufer le appointed
Needless to ss.y , his motion wai
turned down and Hanchette was ap
pointed on the ground that his peti
tion had the most signatures on it
Oh , Lord ! It wouldn't have made an ]
difference , but Thackrey wanted ai
excuse for turning down his ol <
neighbor , and that was all he couk
think of. Hanchette suits us. and hii
ambition for office is now satisfiedbui
we wonder what the people of tht
west end think of Trowbridge' ? He
knew he would never attend a meet
ing of the county board after lasi
October , but rather than let his con
stituents.the people who had honoret
him , choose his successor , he dele
gated that grave duty to the poli
ticians who control the republicat
party in the countv teat. Pernap ;
some day our misguided brethren ii
the west will learn a thing or twoam ,
then we'll see wiiut we'll .
The Grip.
"Grip" time is about here , and ii
this connection it might be well tx
state that among "the boys" a bu
dose of whiske3' and quinine is lookec
upon as a sovereign remed\r. A suj :
fererfioni the malad\r. while brood
ing over his troubles last winter , in
dited the following touching poem ir
the editor's sanctum :
To drink , or not to drink ; that is the question
Whether it is nobler in the mind to suffer
The pangs and tortures of the all prevailing gnj
Or to take a bottle against a peck of trouble
And by drinking end it ? To drink , to seep : ;
To drink ; and by that drinking say we end
The backache , headache , legache , and the then
sand aches mid pains
That lleFh is heir to wheu it has the grip
ls : i rcMiIt devoutly to be wished. To sip , to
dt ink ;
Perchance become inebriated ; aye , there's tlit
rub ;
For in that Bleep of wine what dreams may
come
When \ve have slmflled off our normal sense
Must give us pause ; there's the thing
That makes us hesitate between tiie grip ant
whiskey.
Who would bear the aches and pains of la grippe
But the dread of scorching tongues , evasive
glance ,
And all the signs by which the. common herd
Kxpress their disapproval of a drunken man'
And makes us rather bear the ills ot flesh
Than lly to those which will destroy our repu
tiition.
Thus fear of ridicule makes cowards of us all
And onvt waddle with the grip
When one big drunk would curd us.

The county superintendent . this
week made out the schedule of appor
tionment of school mone3' . and sent
to the various directors. From the
report we learn that the total amount
of state school money apportioned
this year is $292.883. of which Cherry
counc3 > gets. $1,210.8s , added to which
is $7.98 received from fines. This
amount is divided between the 1,527
school children in the county , who
live in 58 separate districts.
Bonds for a Road.
At Judge Towne's office. Monday
evening , a meeting of citizens ap
pointed Messrs. Tucker. Clarke and
Morrissey to draw up a petition for
presentation to the voters this spring ,
bonding the precinct for $1,200 for
the purpose of building a good road
through the canon north of town.
I'his road is certainly needed , but
whether this is the best way to get it
ft'ill be decided by the voters next
spring.
